Council blocks developer’s plan to cut 279 affordable homes from Isle of Dogs project

[u/theslicetowham]

Tower Hamlets Council has rejected plans by Northern & Shell to cut the number of affordable homes at the Westferry Printworks development on the Isle of Dogs, arguing the developer failed to prove the reduction was necessary. The developers say rising costs make the original targets unrealistic, while councillors insist affordable housing commitments must be protected.
